4 Path to Broadband Power ARO MURI High efficiency favors small-area devices Heat removal (see empirical chart) Broad bandwidth favors small-area devices Small Cgs and high output impedance Lower phase noise favors large number of devices Excess phase noise goes as 1/N Conclusion: Use a large number of small devices for broadband power Efficient broadband combining of many devices favors spatial combining
5 Spatial vs. Corporate ARO MURI When does it make sense to use a spatial combiner? Combining efficiency: Binary Wilkinson tree, η =L k, where L=loss per stage, k=number of stages 5 Using general expression for system PAE shown earlier: Assumes: G=1, η a = 5% Spatial combiner: η =L (independent of number of amplifiers) Typical numbers at X-band: Corporate:.15 db loss/stage Spatial:.5dB output loss Transition point: N 16 Power Added Efficiency, % L =.1dB (Corporate) L =.2dB (Corporate) L =.3dB (Corporate) L =.5dB (Spatial) L = 1.dB (Spatial) L = 1.5dB (Spatial) Number of Amplifiers
